Quite often, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by looking at specifications. The image underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the T6s and GR.

To sum up, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon T6s to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The newer T6s will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
